The cottage is small, but very well appointed and equipped. The location is rural and very quiet, yet close to Ashbourne and its shops. The owners live on site and are very welcoming, non intrusive, but quick to respond when needed. We appreciated the welcome pack with wine, cake, butter, marmalade, tea and coffee. Cleaning materials and ample toilet rolls were also provided. There are lovely walks straight from the doorstep and the Rose and Crown pub, only 5 minutes walk away, serve lovely food. There is ample garden space and a barbecue. Sudbury Hall, beautiful Dovedale and the Tissington trail are only a short drive away. We stayed one week, but could have stayed much longer as there is so much to do and see, even if the weather is poor.
